A SkillCul Penman.

The most accomplished penwoman OF

President is great admirer of Mrs.
Avery's penmanship, and frequently re-
fers to it in complimentary terms when
it comes, as it often does, under his OBJ
servance. Mrs Avery is also clever pen
and ink artist. A head of Tasso, drawn
by her few years ago, is said by conois-
seurs to be equal to the finest steel en-
craving. She does work rapidly and APP
parcutly without effort. Her duties oc-
cupy about two hours a day. The rest of
the time she employs as she chooses. Her
position in the Department is supposed
to be as near an approach to life tenure
as the most successful Government en-
ployee can hope to obtain. Her salary is

MRS. TILTON'S PENSION.
An AGED CESTENARIAN, THE WIDOW OF
A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER.

The sole surviving representative of
the Revolutionary War, as recognized
by the government, is Abigail s. Tilton,
of North Woodbridge, Rockingham
County, n. I'll. Out of the army of
persons who are entitled to pensions she
is the only one who receives such us the
wife of a soldier of the Revolution.
Mrs. Tilton is the widow of Benjamin
records Of the Office, participated in the
bate of Bennington as a member of
Captain McCOnnell's company, under
the command of General Stark. Mrs.
Tilton is now trihe more than one
hundred years old. She was married a
second time in 1881, but was divorced
and resumed her maiden name.
Her second marriage insalidated her
right to pension as the widow of BENZ
amin Stevens, but the State of New
Hampshire subsequently granted her an
allowance of 81 week for the remain
der of her natural life. About eight
years ago Congress further increased
this by the addition of SIG a month, to
be paid to her as a special revolutionary
pension, it having been alleged that she
was ''houseless, homeless and childleSs. "
The old lady is represented as enjoying
excellent health and in the full posses
/ sion of all her mental and physical fac
rlties. Until n year ago three Other
/ relics of Revolutionary heirs drew sim
liar pensions through the Knoxville
agency. But they have all died within
the past twelve months and Mrs. Tilton
is now the only link that is left connect
ing the government of to-day with the
stormy scenes of 1776.

Happiest Boy in the Kingdom.

Once there was king who had a lit
tie boy whom he loved.
He gave him beautiful rooms to live
in aud pictures and toys and books. He
gave him q pony to ride and a row-boat
on a lake, and servants. He provided
teachers who were to give him knowl-
edge that would make him good and
great.
But for all this the young prince was
not happy. He wore frown wherever
he went, and was always wishing fol-
something he did net have.
At length, one day, magician came
to court. He saw the boy and said to
the king:
81 can make you; son happy. But
you must pay me great price for tell
ing the secret.
"Well," said the king ''what you ask
I will give"
So the price was paid. Then the
magician took the boy into a private
room. He wrote something witha white
substance on piece Of paper. Next he
gave the boy a candh, and told him to
light it and hold it uider the paper, and
then see what he could read. Then he
went away.
The boy did as he had been told, and
white letters on the PIPER turned into a
beautiful blue.
They formed these words:
''Do q kindness IA some one every
day."
The prince made lse of the secret,
and became the haTiest man in the
kingdom. -Es.

A Boston Maid Servant.

The Providence Journal tells this
story: A lady living on the Back Bay
has servant to whom is Justly to be APP
piled the tenn superior" in its most
elevated meaning. Wits the Paint and
Clay Club exhibition of paintings was
open, this superior young woman in
formed her mistress that she had ticket,
and requested special evening out in
order to attend the show. For aught
know to the contrary it may have been
the evening of the opening reception,
when 1 am sure that the servant element
was pretty generously represented; but
at least the fact remains that at one time
or another the girl saw the exhibition.
On her return home she sought her mis-
tress at the first opportunity.
"Here," she said, extending her ticket,
which Glanced to be "season," 'you
must go and see those pictures. 1t is
the finest exhibition 1 ever saw. Fou'd
better go right off, because I shall want
to use the ticket again myself"
Her mistress has a keen sense OF
humor. She took the ticket, invited her
most aristocratic acquaintance, and visit
ed the exhibition on the girls ticket.

SPEED OF EARTHQUAKES.
Advance Made in the study of Sefs-
mic Phenomena at Home and
Abroad.

Captain Clarence e. Button, chief OF
the Bureau of Volcanic Geology, of the
Geological Survey, read paper at the
meeting of the National Academy en-
bodying the results Of study of an i'm
mense mass of data upon the Charles
ton earthquake. He does not propose
going beyond well proven facts as to the
nature, origin and influence of seismic
phenomena, but lie believes the material
in hand will, when fully worked up,
add to the mass of human knowledge
regarding the foci OF disturbances, the
rate of motion of earth waves and kind
red points of scientific interest; and
that it will be especially valuable in sug-
gestions for the observation and study
Of future phenomena.
The advance made latterly in respect
to knowledge of earthquake phenome-
ma may be illustrated by single point.
The recorded rate of motion OF the
earthquakes of history varies from three
hundred to nine hundred metres per sec
ond while the French journals at
hand containing observations upon the
Riviera shocks give rates almost as high.
1t is not to be supposed that the modern
earthquakes are more energetic
than their predecessors; but 1t Is GER
tain that modern methods and oppor-
tunities give safer results.

the lions and Dan with thick coat of
